Mino Ware - Red and White Camellia Blooming Mark Cup Set with Wooden Gift Box (Includes Floral Coaster)

🌸 Japan's Largest Ceramic Producer Specializing in Exquisite Tableware -- Mino Ware 🏮 Hailing from Gifu Prefecture, Japan (Toki City, Tajimi City, Mizunami City, Kani City), Mino ware is one of Japan's most ancient regional kiln-fired ceramics. The tradition of crafting tableware with Mino ware dates back to the 14th century, and today, approximately 60% of domestic ceramic tableware is Mino ware, making it the nation's top producer. Mino ware tableware is renowned for its minimalist design, natural materials, and elegant forms, considered among Japan's finest ceramics. Characterized by its pure colors, delicate texture, and smooth glaze, it represents premium tableware in Japanese ceramics. In 1988, it was officially designated as a National Traditional Craft. 🎁 This is a pair of cups, beautifully rendered with soft watercolor brushstrokes of red camellia flowers and white magnolias. The colors are subtly nuanced and smooth, showcasing the flowers' graceful posture under natural light and shadow. Accompanied by matching floral coasters and presented in a wooden gift box with a scenic floral window, the overall design is gently refined, adding a sense of occasion whether for gifting or personal use. Unlike ordinary mugs, this set intentionally features a warmer, more tactile cup shape. The cup's silhouette boasts natural ripples, lightly unfurling like petals, embodying nascent life and flowing beauty. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54484748899_92278fe11b_w.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54484749574_f3742ee2d2_w.jpg ※ Includes a wooden gift box ※ Product Dimensions: Pair of Cups: Diameter 9 x Height 8.9cm (two identical cups) Coaster: 12 x 12cm Wooden Box: Length 20.7 x Width 14.1 x Height 11.4cm ※ All pieces are handcrafted by artisans.
